It was a major breakthrough for mankind when the Wright brothers made their first successful flight in 1903. Or so we thought. There is now evidence that technology was utilized to build flying machines in Vedic times.
Several ancient Sanskrit documents credit sages Agastya and Bharadwaja with establishing the principles for aircraft construction. In fact, there are references to ancient ‘flying machines’ that are very similar to modern day hot air balloons (called a “Chchatra”) and parachutes (called a “Vimandvigunam”).

The ‘Vaimanika Shastra’ written by sage Bharadwaja not only elaborates technology for aircraft building, but also includes technology for steering the aircraft, protection from storm and lightning and incorporates elaborate diagrams. The book was discovered in an Indian temple and has since been translated into English from the original Sanskrit.
The Vaimanika Shastra further reveals that the aeroplanes took off vertically, indicating that some form of anti-gravity technology was utilized in their construction. There is also reference to a liquid propulsion agent, most likely gasoline that propelled the aeroplane through air.

The book also mentions the use of a technology that made the aeroplanes invisible to enemy during aerial warfare. On reconstructing the particular alloy referred to in the text, scientists found that it absorbs as much as 78% light, making it ‘invisible’ for all practical purposes.
In this manner, as we research ancient texts, there are several authentic mentions and clear proof of existence of airplane (aeroplane) and aviation technology during the Vedic times.
